Seachem Marine Buffer

Seachem Marine Buffer will safely raise marine pH to 8.3. It will not raise pH above 8.3 even if inadvertently overdosed. Marine Buffer is a blended product and is not just sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate, commonly sold as a substitute. Such products can raise pH to dangerous levels if not used properly.
Safely raises & maintains pH to 8.3
More stable than sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate substitutes
Will not raise pH above 8.3 even if inadvertently overdosed
Seahem Marine Buffer contains sodium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and potassium salts of carbonate, bicarbonate, chloride, sulfate, and borate.Please note - product is sold by weight, not volume. Contents may settle in shipment.

Seachem Acid Buffer

Seachem Acid Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer to lower pH and buffer with Alkaline Buffer. Both buffers are designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem.
Lowers pH
Converts alkalinity into CO2
Designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water
SeaChem Acid Buffer lowers pH and buffers between 5.0 and 8.0 when used with Alkaline Buffer. As Acid Buffer lowers pH it converts carbonate alkalinity (KH) into available CO2. It may also be used to safely lower pH in marine water.

Malawi and Victoria Buffer

Seachem Malawi / Victoria Buffer is a blend of carbonate salts designed to enhance the natural environment of cichlids by increasing hardness, buffer capacity, and pH. For optimum replication of the Malawi/Victoria environment, use with Cichlid Lake Salta.
Formulated to raise and maintain a pH of 7.8 to 8.4
Freshwater aquarium additive increases water hardness (alkalinity)
pH conditioner/ buffer for freshwater aquariums housing Malawi & Victoria cichlids
Directions for use:Use 5 g (1 level teaspoon) for each 10 to 20 gallons of water each day until desired pH is attained and maintained. Thereafter, use as required to maintain pH, usually no more than once every two to three weeks. TIPS: It is best to dissolve the buffer in freshwater before use. Use when setting up an aquarium or making water changes (preferably after the addition of Seachem’s Cichlid Lake Salt) and between water changes as needed to maintain pH. Seachem’s Malawi/Victoria Buffer is formulated to maintain a pH between 7.8 and 8.4, depending on the amount used. To attain a lower pH than 7.8, you may use Seachem’s Acid Buffer in combination with Malawi/Victoria Buffer. To attain a higher pH than 8.4, use Tanganyika Buffer.

Seachem Alkaline Buffer

SeaChem Alkaline Buffer is a non-phosphate buffer to raise pH and alkalinity (KH) and buffer with Acid Buffer. These buffers are designed for the planted aquarium or for very hard water where phosphate buffers may pose an algae or cloudiness problem.

Note: pre-dissolve buffer in a small amount of bottled or dechlorinated tap water then introduce to your aquarium.

Seachem Reef Builder

Sea Chem Reef Builder raises carbonate alkalinity without immediately impacting on pH. With long term use there will be a tendency to stabilize at pH 8.3. Carbonates and calcium are essential to all coral growth.
Raises carbonate alkalinity
Does not immediately impact pH
Promotes healthy coral growth
If either becomes deficient, coral growth will cease, followed by a rapid decline in coral health. Used as directed, Sea Chem Reef Builder will not deplete calcium, magnesium, or strontium which usually tend to precipitate with increasing alkalinity.Sea Chem Reef Builder and Reef Buffer may be used together. Use Sea Chem Reef Builder to raise carbonate alkalinity without affecting pH. Use Reef Buffer to raise carbonate alkalinity and pH.500 g treats 32,000 L (8,000 gallons). Use 3 grams per 40 gallons twice a week and check alkalinity every 2 weeks and adjust amount or frequency accordingly.

Seachem Reef Buffer

Seachem Reef Buffer is intended primarily for use in a reef system where the maintenance of a pH of 8.3 is often difficult. When used as directed, Sea Chem Reef Buffer will raise the pH of your reef system to 8.3 without fear of accidentally overshooting the pH to a dangerous level.
Raises carbonate alkalinity
Intended for reef systems
Allows for greater pH stability
Sea Chem Reef Buffer is a blended product and is not just sodium carbonate. Reef Builder should be used to raise alkalinity when pH is not a problem. Use Seachems MultiTest: Marine pH & Alkalinity to check pH and total alkalinity. Reef Buffer will also raise carbonate alkalinity.

Brightwell Aquatics Alkalin 8.3 Liquid KH Buffer

Brightwell Aquatics Alkalin 8.3 Liquid KH buffer was specially formulated by a Marine Scientist. This liquid KH buffer is a highly effective alkalinity increasing solution (KH Buffer) helps to increase pH stability in an aquarium by raising the alkalinity.
Concentrated KH buffer supplement

Welcome to the Aquarium Water pH Buffers superstore! Like it or not, maintaining a pristine aquarium is a chemistry lesson. Luckily the chemistry is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Even more luckily, we've got a huge selection of products designed specifically to make the job easier! The pH (alkalinity vs. acidity) of your aquarium water is incredibly important to the life and health of your fish and plants. Some fish require very specific ranges to even tolerate the water at all. Water buffers make it easy to achieve the perfect pH range, and then keep the water right where it should be. Additionally, certain water buffers help condition the water, removing harmful chemicals like chlorine and ammonias, making the water safe for your fish. Water chemistry can be daunting, but we're here to help make it easy!
